Even Daft Punk Must Take Off Helmets at Airport, Photos Instantly Surface

They might be one of today's hottest acts, but French electro pioneers Daft Punk aren't above the law and must take off their helmets at the airport just like anyone else.

Caught by the spying eye of TMZ, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter were filmed minding their own business at the airport, but mask-free. Dubbed "severely disappointing" by the tabloid source, the duo's in fact looking sharp as ever.

The story was also reported as Daft Punk's very first uncovering, which is hardly the truth. The footage does however bring the duo's latest unmasked photos, you can check it out below.

In related news, the band's Spotify streaming scored an impressive 205% leap following the latest Grammy triumph. As USA Today reports, other guitar-driven acts whose streaming numbers have gone up after the Grammys include Paul McCartney and Metallica with 126 and 63-percent jumps, respectively.

How many people will actually care about this in the end: zero
I mean, I'm no superfan, but their music is solid enough that revealing their faces won't make it any worse or better. It's not like we haven't known names through their career.

There's already been early pictures of them if you wanted to see them unmasked. They clearly don't really enjoy being in the public appearance or not so kind of a dick move to just jump for the camera as soon as you see their faces. But I expect nothing less from TMZ.

I don't understand why people are so interested in seeing a masked figure unmasked. Same with slipknot, kiss (back in the day!) etc. When you do finally see then, surprise surprise A)they look like normal guys and B)you don't recognise them anyway. Not like they were secretly someone famous all this time.

They don't like public attention on who they are underneath their helmets. Can't the media just leave them alone and let them have their privacy. Privacy is the only reason they wear the awesome outfits anyway
